It's very wet in London. Example: today was a relatively dry day, the sun was out, not a cloud in the sky. And the current humidity level: 76 percent. Just imagine what a wet day is like! I actually don't mind the rain so much: it's usually just a drizzle, not enough to merit an umbrella but certainly enough to get one nice and damp. Our house, despite being in London, is not really built to withstand the wetness: today I cleaned a good deal of mold off my windowsill, which had accumulated from almost two months of constant wet. Thank goodness for my new friend the dehumidifyer! It has the amazing ability to pull startling quantities of water out of the air in a ridiculously short amount of time. In the past five hours, for instance, it's netted a good half-gallon of water, I'd say.
Other activities of note today: there's a Lithuanian Christmas fair going on at the Stratford station, with lots of useless Lithuanian wares which I didn't buy, but did ogle. What I did buy was a little wreath from Woolworth's, which seems to be having financial difficulties, or else just wants to get rid of all its stuff, because everything is super cheap there now.
And tomorrow, work! I'm actually liking my job quite a bit: talking to people is fun, and my coworkers are really nice. I'm considering staying there, despite the 1 hour and 15 minute commute.
School is awesome, but I'm approaching the burn-out point, so thank goodness for a break in a week! I'll be flying home to Boston, so if any of you wonderful people are around that area during the holidays let me know, I'd love to go for a coffee with you! :D
